## Hi, I'm **Max Mehl**.
|
||||
|
||||
Open Source has always been more than code to me. I deeply care about its principles such as collaboration, transparency, and pragmatic problem-solving.
|

Open Source is more than just code to me. I deeply care about its principles of collaboration, transparency, and pragmatic problem-solving.
|
||||
|
||||
I work at Deutsche Bahn on Open Source strategy, governance, and team enablement. The goal is to help the organisation use and contribute to Open Source effectively. This includes co-founding the OpenRail Association for sector-wide collaboration and advancing software supply chain practices, especially around SBOMs and Cyber Resilience Act compliance.
|
||||
I work at **Deutsche Bahn**'s virtual Open Source Program Office (OSPO). I helped co-found the **OpenRail Association** to foster sector-wide collaboration. Another focus is on **software supply chain management** with an emphasis on SBOMs and CRA compliance.
|
||||
|
||||
With a background in political and administrative science and a strong technical foundation, my work often bridges technology and strategy. The focus is always on practical, long-term solutions that balance compliance, security, and efficiency.
|
||||
Previously, I was with the **Free Software Foundation Europe** (FSFE), leading policy, public awareness, and legal initiatives such as *Public Money, Public Code* and *REUSE*. Before that, I founded a small, client-focused IT consultancy firm offering website development and system administration.

|

Outside of work, I enjoy being with my family, bouldering, and maintaining some software projects.
|
||||
|
||||
Outside of work, most of my time goes into family life with two kids. As a self-taught software developer, some of the rest goes into maintaining Open Source projects — and a little less than I'd like into climbing walls without ropes.
|
||||
|
||||
Once in a while [I blog]({{< ref "blog" >}}) about things that keep me busy. You can contact me via email, messenger, or any of the platforms listed below. See the [contact page]({{< ref "contact" >}}) for more details.

This (longer than expected) post explains how to transfer files securely between your device and an external storage. The first part may be useful for you if you only have little knowledge of terms like (S)FTP(S) and want to learn something about widely used technologies. The second part will help you to mount an external storage so you can manage all files as if they are on your local device and the third, fourth and fifth part will concentrate on easing the mounting process by the help of hostnames, Private/Public Keys and a shell script.

Nachdem diese Woche bekannt wurde, dass Facebook es endlich geschafft hat, WhatsApp-Gründer Jan Koum und Brian Acton mit einer stolzen Summe von rund 16 Milliarden US-Dollar [zum Verkauf ihrer Firma](http://www.sueddeutsche.de/wirtschaft/uebernahme-in-der-technikbranche-facebook-kauft-whatsapp-1.1893830) zu bewegen, fragen sich viele, was sich nun in Sachen Privatsphäre ändern wird – und wie man dem entgegenwirken kann. In diesme Artikel werde ich erläutern, was man bei der Wahl des richtigen Messengers beachten sollte, warum Threema nicht die Lösung ist und was wirklich sichere Alternativen sind.

Heutzutage ist schriftlicher Stil in E-Mails ebenso wichtig wie eine angemessene Sprechweise oder standardisierte Floskeln und Höflichkeiten in Briefen. E-Mails sind trotz Short Messaging wie per SMS, WhatsApp oder Facebook weiterhin die bedeutenste digitale Kommunikationsmöglichkeit.

If you use Thunderbird and its contact functionality, you might already have stumbled over the „show on map“ feature. If you add addresses to your contacts (no matter if directly in Thunderbird or via CalDAV) there appears a button which enabled you to open a map with the contact’s location.

That’s a great opportunity for every student interested in Free Software and political activism — and for me to write about my internship I completed from October 2013 until end of March 2014.

Yesterday I’ve been asked by a good friend of mine why I am investing so much time in the [FSFE](https://fsfe.org) (Free Software¹ Foundation Europe) instead of putting more energy in other organisations with more focus on privacy issues. The background of his question is that I’m quite concerned about governmental and commercial surveillance and the lack of really private ways to communicate with each other and the impact this has on our online and offline behaviour. With Laura Poitras‘ recent movie „Citizenfour“ awarded with an Oscar, I use the media attention as an icebreaker to talk with my friends about these topics if the situation allows it.

Pole pole – das ist die typisch tansanische Mentalität, alles etwas ruhiger und langsamer angehen zu lassen. Und wahrscheinlich ist das auch der Grund, warum ich erst einen Monat nach meiner Ankunft in Tansania dazu komme, einen ersten Blogeintrag über meine bisherigen Erfahrungen zu schreiben. Ich bin hier von Anfang März bis Ende Juli als Freiwilliger in einer Organisation tätig, die die Bildung von jungen Menschen und der ländlichen Bevölkerung durch Einsatz und Schulung von IT verbessern will. Im Folgenden möchte ich kurz einen Rundumblick über mein Leben hier und die Bedingungen geben, konkret über meinen Alltag, die Gefahren, meine Arbeit als Freiwilliger, die einheimische Bevölkerung und Kultur, Wetter und Natur sowie das liebe Geld:

Wie Ihr vielleicht schon mitbekommen habt, ist am 1. August die Welt etwas freier geworden. Nun nämlich ist das [Gesetz für Endgerätefreiheit][1] in Kraft, welches endlich erlaubt, dass Kunden deutscher Internetanbieter einen Router oder ein Modem ihrer Wahl an ihren Anschluss klemmen dürfen. Die [FSFE][2] hat sich von Anfang an für dieses Recht eingesetzt und schlussendlich haben wir diesen großen Erfolg errungen, der den [Routerzwang][3] endgültig abschaffen soll.

summary: Im Deutschlandfunk-Magazin "Computer und Kommunikation" sprach ich über das Ende des Routerzwangs in Deutschland und was die neue Regelung für Verbraucher bedeutet. Nach jahrelangem Kampf war es gelungen, ein Gesetz durchzusetzen, das Kunden die freie Wahl ihres Routers garantiert – ein wichtiger Sieg für Verbraucherrechte und technische Selbstbestimmung. Der Deutschlandfunk erreicht ein breites, auch nicht-technisches Publikum, dem ich erklären konnte, warum dieses scheinbar technische Thema für jeden relevant ist.

August herrscht – auch dank der langfristigen Arbeit der FSFE – gesetzlich [Endgerätefreiheit][1] in Deutschland, sprich alle Kundinnen und Kunden eines DSL- oder Kabelanbieters sollen die Freiheit haben, ein Modem oder Router ihrer Wahl anzuschließen, ohne systematisch benachteiligt zu werden. Doch halten die Anbieter das wirklich ein? Die FSFE testet das mit Hilfe großartiger Freiwilliger, denen wir alternative Testgeräte zuschicken. Und davon sind aktuell wieder ein paar verfügbar und warten auf neue Tester!

summary: In den ISPA News erschien mein Artikel über die Bedrohung durch die EU-Funkanlagenrichtlinie. Ich erläutere, wie Artikel 3(3)(i) der RED nicht nur Nutzerrechte gefährdet, sondern auch für technologieorientierte Unternehmen und die Open-Source-Community existenzielle Risiken birgt – von Router-Herstellern über Funkgeräte bis hin zu IoT-Produkten.

Heute war ich beim Deutschlandfunk zu einer [Radiosendung über den Routerzwang][1] eingeladen. Wir haben etwa eine Stunde lang darüber geredet, warum es so wichtig ist, dass wir seit dem 1. August endlich [Routerfreiheit][2] in Deutschland haben, was das für Verbraucher bringt und welche Fragen noch ungeklärt sind.

Last weekend, I visited Oberhausen to participate in [OpenRheinRuhr][1], a well-known Free Software event in north-western Germany. Over two days I was part of [FSFE][2]’s booth team, gave a talk, and enjoyed talking to tons of like-minded people about politics, technology and other stuff. In the next few minutes you will learn what coat hangers have to do with flat irons and which hotel you shouldn’t book if you plan to visit Oberhausen.

Normally I’m not the bragging kind of guy but for this year’s edition of my „[I love Free Software][1]“ declaration articles (after [2014][2], [2015][3] and [2016][4]) I just want to shout out to the world: I have the world’s best mail client: [astroid][5]!

Malicious people will figure it out anyway, but more people can review the code. We've seen this with Linux. It is stable, secure and transparent, and we don't see a disadvantage in the fact that it's open-source.

The keynote argued that the current model, where public administrations pay vendors to develop software but then cannot share it with other public bodies, is economically inefficient and technologically counterproductive. I presented the FSFE's "Public Money, Public Code" campaign as a policy framework to address this: require that code developed with public funds be released as Free Software. The benefits extend beyond cost savings to include improved security (through transparency and auditability), reduced vendor lock-in, and the ability to build on each other's work rather than repeatedly reinventing similar solutions.

For the OW2 community, which works on exactly the kind of collaborative Open Source development that Public Code envisions at scale, the message resonated strongly. The discussion explored how policy changes could accelerate adoption of open source infrastructure, how public procurement could be restructured to favor Free Software, and what role organizations like OW2 could play in providing professional-grade Open Source alternatives to proprietary public sector software.

At DrupalEurope 2018 in Darmstadt, I presented the "Public Money, Public Code" initiative to an audience of Drupal developers, site builders, and digital agencies. This was a particularly relevant venue because Drupal itself is Free Software, and many in the audience work on public sector projects where the principles of Public Code directly apply. The talk connected the FSFE's campaign to the practical realities of building public digital infrastructure with content management systems like Drupal.
|
||||
|
||||
The presentation explained why software developed for public administrations with taxpayer money should be released as Free Software. I outlined the benefits: code reuse across different public bodies, reduced vendor lock-in, improved security through transparency, and the ability to customize solutions to local needs. For the Drupal community, which already embraces open source principles, the message resonated strongly – many attendees had experienced first-hand the frustration of proprietary systems or custom Drupal modules that couldn't be shared because of licensing restrictions.

The discussion explored how Drupal agencies could advocate for Public Code principles in their client relationships, how public administrations could structure procurement to require Free Software, and what role the Drupal community could play in building shared public infrastructure. This talk helped connect the broader political campaign to concrete technical communities already working in the public sector.

The presentation focused on the practical solutions to typical problems with licensing information: unclear licensing and copyright of individual files, conflicting best practices, and loss of such information during use and re-use of files and components. I explained the three core REUSE rules and showed how the tooling integrates with existing development workflows and CI/CD pipelines. For the enterprise-focused audience, I highlighted how REUSE helps organizations that both consume and contribute to open source software, providing clear documentation that satisfies legal teams while remaining developer-friendly.

|

The presentation walked through the core REUSE principles and showed how they address common licensing pain points: unclear copyright holders, ambiguous license terms, and missing attribution. I demonstrated the REUSE tools and workflow, showing how projects can verify their compliance status and incrementally improve their licensing documentation. The talk also covered how REUSE integrates with continuous integration systems and can become part of a project's regular quality assurance process.

|

For the OW2 community, known for its focus on collaborative open source development and professional-grade software, REUSE offered a pragmatic path to licensing clarity that reduces legal uncertainty while maintaining development velocity. The discussion highlighted how proper licensing documentation becomes even more critical as projects scale and are used in production environments.

Ich wurde zu den technischen Grenzen des zentralisierten Warnsystems und zu resilienteren Alternativen wie Cell Broadcast befragt, die alle Menschen erreichen können, ohne dass eine App installiert werden muss.

summary: In the scope of my work with the FSFE regarding Cell Broadcast, I have been interviewed by The Local about the disaster warning system in Germany and whether a more open and resilient system could have prevented some damage during the Ahrtal floods in July 2021. The article discusses the known deficiencies of the existing system and explores why improvements were not made in time.

I was invited to join the Digital Impact Alliance's "Pulse on the Principles" podcast for a conversation about the intersection of Open Source software and Digital Public Goods. Alongside Lucy Harris from the Digital Public Goods Alliance and Bernhard Kowatsch from the World Food Program Innovation Accelerator, we explored how Open Source principles can unlock digital cooperation and help achieve the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. As lead of FSFE's "Public Money, Public Code" initiative, I shared perspectives on how Free Software thinking applies to the digital public goods space.
|
||||
|
||||
The episode built on the previous discussion about Open Source licenses and digital cooperation, diving deeper into practical applications. We discussed how the "open principle" can be applied to innovation ideas, what clear definitions and checklists exist for better achieving SDGs through public goods, and how this concept both helps and challenges innovation startups. The conversation highlighted the importance of open source not just as a development model, but as a foundational approach for creating truly public digital infrastructure.

We had an interesting conversation about the growing importance of SBOMs in the software industry and their role within Deutsche Bahn. We also discussed the limits of SBOMs and how they can be complemented with other approaches to better understand and manage risks.

> In this episode, our host Karsten Hohage talks to Max Mehl and Sebastian Wolf about Software Bills of Materials or SBOMs. An SBOM is a detailed record of all components within a software application, including open-source libraries, third-party dependencies and licenses. Max and Sebastian discuss the importance of SBOMs as well as some challenges and unanswered questions of the state of the art. They also speak with Karsten about SBOMs within SAP and Deutsche Bahn and the importance of SBOMs when it comes to open source.

summary: In this article, I explain why DB Systel relies on Open Source for strategic collaboration and how we approach Open Source at Deutsche Bahn. An essential tool for that is the OpenRail Association, a neutral platform for the railway industry to share and collaborate on Open Source software. The article also highlights the importance of community involvement and how DB Systel fosters a culture of openness and collaboration within the company.
